Author: By Abdou Raham Sallah GFA report Algeria to FIFA Wednesday, June 18, 2008 After a serious threats made to Gambia striker Ousman Jallow by Algerian players during Scorpions Saturday’s 1-0 win over the Desert Warriors in a combined 2010 World and Nations Cup qualifiers, the Gambia Football Association have written to the World football’s governing body notifying them of the threats. Ousman Jallow, who was very instrumental in Saturday’s victory, told Observer Sports shortly after the match that the Algerian players have threatened to attack their hotel during the return leg on Friday. “They (Algerian players) held my neck and told me that they are terrorists, and that they would attack our hotel when we go to Algeria,” Jallow told Observer Sports. Expectedly, the Gambia Football Association are not taking the threat lightly and want FIFA to take precautionary measures to ensure the safety of the Gambian delegation in the North African country. In a one-page letter addressed to FIFA general secretary and copied to the CAF general secretary, the Gambia Football Association said: “We regret to inform you that during The Gambia - Algeria match played on June 14, 2008, at the Independence Stadium, several threats were made to our players by certain Algerian players who claimed to be “terrorists”.” “Our player Ousman Jallow was confronted during the match by two Algerian players wearing numbers 17 and 4 who threatened to bomb our hotel in Algiers during the return match this coming weekend. These players labeled themselves as “terrorists” swearing to “kill” Ousman Jallow and members of the Gambian delegation. As a National Association, we would not want to take this threat lightly since player No 17 was quoted saying “you know we are terrorists”. “As a consequence, we are writing to inform you of these threats so that precautionary measures can be taken to safeguard the well-being of our national delegation in Algeria.” “Whilst soliciting your prompt consideration of these threats, we thank you for your co-operation and support.” Author: by Nanama Keita Star profile: Ousman Jallow Thursday, June 05, 2008 Al Ain FC (United Arab Emirates) Born on October 21, 1988, Ousman Jallow is one of the most successful Gambian youth players, who is currently making names himself at the senior level. A former Wallidan prodigy, Jallow currently plays his professional football with United Arab Emirate’s outfit, FC Al Ain. He was the skipper of the Gambia national youth team that brought the nation her first-ever international tittle, when The Gambia hosted and won the sixth edition of the CAF Under 17 championship in 2005. Jallow added more icing on the cake when he formed the cream of the Gambian team that clinched the bronze medal in the 2007 CAF Under 20 Youth Championship finals hosted in Congo Brazzaville. He also finished that tournament as the deserved leading goalscorer. Ousman Jallow was also a member of the youth team that participated in the 2007 FIFA Under 20 World Cup finals in Canada. Jallow received his first Scorpions cap on September 9, 2007 when the Scorpions hosted Algeria in the final group match of the 2008 Nations Cup qualifier campaign. However, the striker still has a mixed feeling for that game - as helped Gambia to beat the Northerners 2-1, before missing a penalty, then a red card, which eventually ruled him out of Scorpions first two matches in the 2010 joint World Cup and Nations Cup qualifier campaign. Jallow has currently joined the Scorpions camp as he look forward to taking a centre stage when Gambia host Algeria one week after the Senegal tie on Sunday. Personal information Name: Ousman Jallow D.O.B: 21 October 1988 Place of birth: Gambia Height: 1.81 m Playing position: Striker Club information Current club: Al Ain FC Number: 35 2005–2006: Al-Ain FC 2006–2007: Raja Casablanca (loan) 2007–present: Al-Ain FC Author: DO More suspension blows for GambiaFriday, May 16, 2008 The the disciplinary committee of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), has finally communicated to the national football’s governing body of its decision to suspend forward Ousman Jallow for the Scorpions next two matches in 2010 World Cup qualifier campaign, for the red card he earned himself during Gambia’s 2008 Nations Cup qualifier tie against Algeria. Steve Biko’s Habib Kunta has also been given similar punishment by the continental body for slapping an opponent during Gambia’s match against Mauritania in the second-leg of CAN 2009 qualifier competition in Nouakchott. The duo’s punishment came on the heels of a similar suspension handed out to three key players for similar offenses. Striker Assan Jatta, commonly known as Bierhoff, Lamin Conateh and Abdoulie Paco Corr, have all been given two-match suspensions by the disciplinary committee of CAF for their involvement in a fracas that marred the aftermath of Gambia - Algeria match in Banjul. The suspended players will automatically miss Gambia’s Group Six opener against Liberia on June 1, and Scorpions home tie against Terenga Lions of Senegal a week later. This information was contained in a communique signed by Madam Amina Kassem, head of disciplinary administration at the Confederation of African Football in Cairo. Author: by Nanama Keita Alain won’t let Ous Jallow leave Wednesday, May 07, 2008 Abu Raghash, a senior member of Alain FC, has reassured the club’s fans that versatile striker, Ousman Jallow, will still be with the club come next season. The Gambia international has been the fans idol after a brilliant display in the United Arab League, and some club faithfuls are sceptical that the former Wallidan ace may be lured away from Alain who have just settled for a trophy-less season. Asked whether Jallow, who has eleven goals to his name so far, will leave the club at the end of the season, Abu said, that decision always depends on the final evaluation that happens at the end of the season. “But taking into consideration that Ousman Jallow is still on contract even after the end of this season and the performance he showed make him so relevant that he will be retained,” he said. Alain had planned to naturalise the former Gambia Under-17 skipper so that the team can use another foreign professional, but Abu Raghash insists the plan cannot materialise simply because the striker has already starred for the Scorpions at the senior level. “It is not that easy to naturalise Osman Jallow, as you know he had already played with his national team in the famous match against Morocco where he lost a penalty, that means UAE national team will not benefit from his naturalisation in anything, and that is the main thing Alain Club is keen to be certain of,” he said. “In fact different clubs already made that move with players that could not be that much of a benefit to the National team, yet with Alain Club, things are completely different,” As part of their plans for the next season, Alain will be building a new stadium in a new location with set of playgrounds dedicated to football activities.

However, their hopes of grasping their eighth win in eighteen league matches, was dashed in the 77th minute when Ali Abbas tied to his team.
